When I try to open them, PS says they are .jpg.1 or. jpg.2. How do I get rid of the .1 and .2 so they become normal JPG photo files?I can look at them with Windows Photo Viewer but I can't figure out how to convert them to normal JPG files.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI would like to perform "Incremental Backups" rather than backing up all my files every time I run Backup. Just backup the files I changed and new files and folders that I added.I have heard of Acronis, but have no experience using it. I am not planning on buying new software in order to achieve my objectives.Is there a way of doing this type of incremental backup in Windows 7 64-bit? Here are my drives stats:
-C: 750 GB (overkill, but I had this) Contains the OS (Win 7 64-bit) and some other programs.
-R: Two 1 TB each - All my data files, photos, music, videos, etc, are this drive which is RAID1 (mirroring).
-Z: 1.5 TB single external drive - Dedicated Backup drive - data backup as well as disk image of C:

I know where the power button is and how to surf the web but most of my computer experience comes from gaming consoles. Recently I bought a pc with the intention of getting into pc gaming as I was informed that it was a better all round experience.In our office there are 2 people with macs and 2 people with windows. We would like to start gaming against each other over a lan router as we are stationed in china and finding games can often be a nightmare. I would like to know if it is possible to do this and how we would go about it

I have been using XP Pro x64 for a few years now and the latest games have been mainly optimized for vista and 7. And XP x64 is a very early version of x64 operating systems which has a few Compatibility and driver issues. Since Game companies are heading for directX 10 and 11 will this perhaps make XP obsolete for gamers? But what about Vista? When i upgraded from XP to Vista specifically for DX10 i noticed that i had a huge decrease in performance, even in DX9. People say that this is because of Vista's Aero Interface, I find this hard to believe considering windows 7 has an even more complex Aero interface and performs much better in an gaming enviroment.
I have a dell inspiron and am using windows 7 home edition. . I cannot download any type of files.

I use Mozilla as my default browser. I also tried downloading in IE, but that to did not work either.

View 9 Replies View RelatedI have MP4 videos that I am trying to make into a movie. I have tried numerous software movie makers including Windows live movie maker, but every program that I have tried gives the BSOD and reboots my computer. I am presently using Movie Plus 5, but it too gives the BSOD within 10 minutes of use. The system will boot back up and run with everything else as normal but as soon as I start the movie software the system goes down again. I have ran software for checking all drivers, for sure the NVIDIA Video drivers and they show that they are all up to date. I have ran malware and spyware, cleaned the registers, checked the heat on the CPUs and ran error checking on the drives. I have been hunting this squirrel for 2 weeks now and I think its time to bring the big dogs in.

View 1 Replies View RelatedI just found a very very strange issue that my Windows 7 Ult x64 installation has. Whenever I type in any of the built in programs (like CMD, explorer, the search bar in the start menu, notepad, etc.), the program freezes. But when I try to type in any other program, like Chrome, it works just fine. Does anybody know how to fix this? It's quite annoying, and I sorta need to use my computer...
Keyboard: Razer Lycosa I did check for driver updates already.
I am trying to load battlefield bad company 2, sims, dvd's, and cd's on my computer, but when I go to My Computer and double click the dvdrw's, windows says it needs to format the disk.
if I press format, it has an error, if I dont, it also has an error.
I have installed 3 dvdrws that I have tested and had working in another computer, and the same goes for each one.
When I insert a disk, the mouse cursor shows the little CD right by it, but nothing happens after it blinks a few times.
Bios recognizes each dvdrw drive, they will boot windows 7 disk before loading windows even, disk management shows each one is working good.
I got one dvd to read through a third party program called dvd decrypter. I didn't go as far as to see if it would copy to the hdd, but it showed all the files.
I used another third party software to analyze the sims2 disk to see if it could copy (i didnt have the full version so I couldnt copy it onto the hdd) but it did show the files as well.
I cannot see any music disks, cdrws disks, dvd's, etc in itunes or windows media player.

The byproduct of editing certain files in video editing software is they create extra files to the files already.

View 5 Replies View Relatedyesterday i started receiving a bsod while i was playing diablo3. i was having no issues with the game, everything was running fine and all of a sudden the screen froze and the sound got stuck so to speak. after a few minutes i then received a bsod. i rebooted the computer and went back to playing. i received another bsod. i looked on the diablo3 forums and saw that this was an issue that was affecting a lot of players. but before this day i had been playing the game fine for hours at a time for at least 5 days. i saw that the graphics drivers may be causing an issue so i made sure that they were up to date. i still received the bsod after 20-40 minutes of playing. i tried reverting to old drivers and still received the bsod. i tried uninstalling the game and re-installing and still received the bsod. i decided to try a different game and after about 30 minutes of that game my computer crashed. both of the games are made by blizzard so i thought it might be an issue with them. however, i have never received an error before when playing the second game, which i have been playing for a year or so on this computer.i then tried watching a video on Internet and after about 23 minutes it froze and i got the bsod. i tried one more time to watch another video and this time i lasted almost an hour before it crashed. i decided to let my computer sit with nothing on the screen for almost 2 hours. when i went to open the internet it didn't seem to respond and just hung with the blue busy wheel. i was not able to open any program. i did ctrl+alt+del and got a black screen followed by a box that read "failure to display security and shut down options". i then had to turn the computer off by the power button.my computer doesn't seem to be writing dump files even though i have enabled them to be saved. im not sure how to remedy that. i have tried updating my graphics drivers and reverting to old ones. i have done a memtest and no problems were detected. i monitor my temps and it never seems to get anywhere close to overheating.i have never had a problem with this computer until yesterday. the only major things that have changed is that i downloaded diablo3 on the 25th (though i didnt start receiving the bsods until the 30th) and i have recently moved so i have a new router and internet connection.

I am building a new PC. It will not ship with an OS. I am getting the Free windows 7 from Microsoft (the student deal). The only thing is, i can only get Professional. Will that make any difference in gaming? I am getting this PC to do my video editing and to play games. Will professional perform worse when i play games than the other versions?
